I see - once again, instead of just letting people fund the damn browser, Mozilla is continuing with its tried-and-true strategy of randomly integrating things into other things.

I’ve heard this comment so many times and had the same view.

Then recently I found out they do take donations.

Donate here for anyone who wants to :)

I’d guess it’s not enough currently to cover for the millions they need to replace once they need to sunset their Google Search funding deal.

It has been confirmed that none of the donated money (Mozilla Foundation) goes to Firefox development (Mozilla Corporation). You hear the comment often because it is true.

Wow ouch. Didn’t realise the exec were taking so much pay. Really disappointing.

Someone help me out.. where can we find the constitution for the Mozilla foundation?

Who makes up the voting membership who could act on this sort of stuff at a governance level?

Just reviewed the articles of incorporation and the bi laws. I can see the problem.

The bilaws state that the foundation has no members. So there’s no accountability mechanism around the performance of the board.

I’d suggest the conversation we need to have is towards adding voting members to the foundation and its bilaws.

There's no option to donate to a specific project, though. As much as I'd like to support Firefox, I do not want to support any other shiny projects that they'll kiff of in a year or two.

The number of ads for mozilla VPN in Firefox is getting to ridiculous levels, even when I explicit disable all "featured" stuff in options.

Fortunately, you can still get rid of all of them by disabling stuff in about:config
